DAILY POST reports that five members of the APC were confirmed dead in a ghastly motor accident a few meters to Oke-Onigbin, a Kwara suburb, on the Omu-Aran-Ilorin highway on Sunday.
The APC members and some party executives of Irepodun Local Government Area of the state were on their way to Oro for a rally when they died.

The minister stated this when he visited the families of the five deceased members in Arandun, Agbonda, Omu-Aran, Oko and Odo Owa, all in the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara.

He hailed the members for their supreme sacrifice for the emancipation of the people of Kwara, NAN reports.
Mohammed and his entourage also attended the funeral service for one of the five deceased members, Chief Ayobami Adekeye, an official of the party in Ajase Ward 2.
